Norm Crouse - Sometimes It's Something Lyrics

He worked on it all afternoon
Then well on through the night
She knew he'd be at it
'Til he got it all just right
It was just a simple song
'Bout someone way back when
The kind of song you'd hear just once
But never hear again

At times it's just a melody
At times it's just a lyric
Sometimes it comes out wholly formed
But only he can hear it
Even if no one will listen
Even if it takes all night
Even if no one will care
It's something he must write

It's something that's so real to him
That he can't let it go
It contains a part of him
That he can't help but show
It will never be that song
That you sing along for pleasure
But he keeps right on working
Like he's building him a treasure

If you have a song of yours
Somewhere there inside you
Please don't let it waste away
Because you've never tried to
There's something in each journey
That's all about the going
There's something in each song
That's all about the doing

Sometimes it's just a melody
Sometimes it's just a lyric
Sometimes it comes out wholly formed
But only you can hear it
Even if no one will listen
Even if it takes all night
Even if no one will care
It's something you must write

Even if no one will listen
Even if it takes all night
Even if no one will care
It's something you must write
